Hi VA Smalltalk Developers,
I'm using a WkTableWidgetView with columns of WkColumnView. I would like to know when the used clicks the heading of a column to sort the items by the values in that column. I think this can be done by adding an event to WkTableWidgetView. The event could be #sorted with a parameter of the column in question.
I think the signaling can be added to #WkTableColumnMapper>processButton1Release:
near the end between:
self widget sortOn: column ascending: column ascending.
and:
column toggleSortDirection].
something like so:
self widget sortOn: column ascending: column ascending.
(self widget userData at: #XmUserData) signalEvent: #sorted with: column.
column toggleSortDirection].
I haven't tested the above code but I think it should be close. I like the use of sorting the container by clicking on column headings but I often need more like combination (of columns) sorts and need to know when and how things are sorted so I can indicate this to the user.
I have a hack (no change to VA Smalltalk code) that get me where I wan to be but it is an ugly hack. Catching this event would be much nicer.
Lou
